The flashlight couldn't be shone on his father's face, but Shen Mingxi also felt the sudden pressure. He felt a little nervous and swallowed his saliva, "Dad, I want to tell you..."
Shen Yu suddenly interrupted her and said sternly, "Xiaoxi, stop talking. I don't want to know."
Shen Mingxi was stunned, feeling a little uncomfortable, "Dad, why don't you want to know?"
Seeing that she had frightened her daughter, Shen Yu quickly softened her voice and sighed, "Xiaoxi, since this is your secret, don't tell anyone."
Then he emphasized his tone and lowered his voice and said, "Even if it's your closest and most beloved person, you can't do that. Do you hear me?"
"But, Dad..."
"No buts, Xiaoxi. No matter what, you are my daughter. Mom and dad love you the most and are the most tolerant of you. Don't worry, no matter what you do, your mom and I will support you and protect you to the best of our ability."
Shen Mingxi's eyes gradually became misty, and his throat was choked with sobs, "Dad, don't you even ask what it is? Maybe I can help you a lot."
Shen Yu shook his head, stretched out his hand and rubbed his daughter's head, and said softly, "Silly girl, even if you don't tell Dad, can't you still help Dad?"
He pointed to the pile of goods behind him and said, "If it weren't for the purple Ganoderma you picked, Dad would not be able to go to South City penniless no matter how many ideas he had."
Shen Mingxi also turned his head and looked at the goods. It was indeed true. For the penniless Shen family, without money, how could they turn their lives around? Not to mention the goods, they might not even be able to build a house.
It would be impossible for her to build a house, go to school and buy various things with the few hundred yuan she earned from selling mushroom sauce.
"Dad, it's nothing. I have a mysterious piece of land that no one can see except me. It's not big, only about 700 square meters. I can grow all kinds of vegetables in it, and the cycle is short..."
Without waiting for Shen Yu to stop him, Shen Mingxi quickly told his father about the space, but did not mention the little koi.
After saying this, there was still a triumphant smile on his face.
Shen Yu rubbed his forehead with a headache.
It's not that he wasn't curious, but this was his daughter's secret and he really didn't want to know. He was worried that once he opened his mouth, his daughter would not care and tell a second or third person. If that happened, his daughter would be in more danger.
But now that Shen Mingxi has said it, there is no point in him trying to stop her.
"Xiaoxi, do you mean that you have harvested a lot of vegetables from your land, but you can't take them out?" Shen Yu had no choice but to ask.
"Yes, Dad, you are so smart. That's it. There are eggplants, beans, tomatoes and other vegetables in it. They fill up more than 20 wicker baskets. What I can take out is limited, and I have to be sneaky."
Shen Yu frowned. This is really a problem.
It would be better if it was summer, but now it is about to snow heavily. He knows there is a technology called vegetable greenhouse, but now it will take several months for the vegetables in the greenhouse to mature, and judging from his daughter's expression, she obviously doesn't want to wait.
Although the vegetables grown in an area of more than 700 square meters are limited, the advantage is that the growth cycle is short. Shen Yu quickly came up with an idea, "Xiaoxi, Dad will go to Yuncheng in a month, and you can go with me then."
Shen Mingxi's eyes lit up and he immediately knew what Shen Yu was going to do.
Yuncheng is close to the south and there will only be a few snowfalls in the winter. When the time comes, they can hire a truck to bring back a load of vegetables and no one will suspect anything.
By then, not only can we sell it for money, but we will also have food to eat at home.
So, Shen Mingxi felt relieved and smiled immediately. However, Shen Yu warned again, his voice became very stern, "Xiaoxi, don't tell anyone else about this, even if it's the person you love most in this life."
"The person I love most in this life?" Shen Mingxi smiled with curved eyebrows, "Dad, you are the people I love most in this life."
Shen Yu smiled, feeling happy in her heart, but she still said seriously, "Silly girl, you will grow up and meet someone who loves you and spend the rest of your life with you."
Shen Mingxi didn't want to talk about this topic, "Oh, Dad, I'm still young now."
Shen Yu was silent for a moment. Yes, his daughter was still young, so it seemed a little early for him to say that.
Having solved his troubles, Shen Mingxi happily went back to his room to do his homework.
Shen Yu took a flashlight and shone it around the goods before preparing to leave. However, he stumbled and realized that although he was pretending to be calm, he was actually shocked.
His legs felt a little weak, and if he hadn't held on to the box next to him, he would have fallen.
He never dreamed that his daughter would have such a great opportunity.
I guess this is a kind of compensation for the suffering she has endured.
At this time, in the west room of the Shen family, except for Goudan who had cleverly finished his homework, the other four teenagers had not done any homework at all. When they thought of the important events tomorrow, they hurriedly finished the homework assigned by the teacher under the oil lamp.
Grandma Shen and Chen Li sat on the kang, twisting hemp ropes to make cotton shoes for winter.
When Shen Yu and his friends went to South City, it was only the end of summer there, and it was impossible for such things as cotton shoes to exist.
Even if there is, it’s not as warm as the ones made at home.
So even if Chen Li stayed at home doing housework, it was not easy at all, but she enjoyed it. Under the light, there was a satisfied and happy smile on her face.
Shen Yu entered the house, sat on the kang, took out a notebook and looked at his cargo list and details, while also digesting the big secret that Xiaoxi had told him.
When he looked up, he saw his wife busy at work. There was a soft light in his eyes, but he was thinking secretly in his heart that he should find some time to take his wife back to visit his father-in-law.
He must take responsibility for the evil things done by Old Man and Old Lady Shen. During this period of time, he has been thinking about how to make up for his mistakes.
Although he did not believe in ghosts or curses, he still remembered what his father-in-law said when he stood at the door of the Shen family ten years ago - Shen Yu, Chen Li, the day we meet again will be the day I lie in a coffin!
So for all these years, he didn't dare to take his wife back to her parents' home.
Let’s not talk about those muddled days.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately, he didn't even dare to ask someone to deliver something for him at the moment, but he had tried to inquire about the news.
